00:00Fetterman defends Erica Kirk after podcaster labels her a grifter.

00:05Senator John Fetterman has come to the defense of Erica Kirk after a podcaster called the widow a grifter.

00:11Fetterman took to X to condemn negative comments about Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

00:18It's gross and dehumanizing to attack a widow with young children after just witnessing his public assassination, the senator wrote.

00:24It shouldn't be controversial to put our political views aside and extend the grace for a deeply traumatized family to grieve, Fetterman added.

00:33He included a screenshot of a Fox News digital article headline that read,

00:37Liberal podcaster labels widow Erica Kirk a grifter who should be kicked to the curb.

00:43This woman should be kicked to the curb, Jennifer Welch said on her I've Had It podcast.

00:47She is an absolute grifter, just like Donald Trump and just like her unrepentant, racist, homophobic husband was, she said of Erica Kirk.

00:57The Kirks are staunch supporters of the Republican Party.

01:00Many agreed with Fetterman's words on X.

01:03Representative Nancy Mace, who is running for governor, thanked Fetterman.

01:07Fox News Channel political analyst Gianno Caldwell also agreed with Fetterman, writing,

01:12I absolutely agree with you.

01:14Charlie Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA.

01:16He was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University in September.

01:21He leaves behind his wife and two children.
